July 24 - Two months on the road







We left Townsend two months ago today. We have enjoyed each day and look forward to more adventures. We leave here next Wed. for St. Mary Campground in Glacier National Park. We have enjoyed this campground and our campsite the most of all the private campgrounds so far. It is also one of the most economical (less than $25 a night). We will also enjoy our no-hook ups site at St. Mary's for a week. We hit a used book store and are ready for some serious reading! We will shop at Walmart and maybe Smith's to load up as much food as we can stuff into the frig and cabinets before we leave here. After St. Mary, we will head to the Calgary area for one night and then to Jasper for three nights. Then we head to Banff for 10 nights. That will be two weeks in Canada where we will disconnect our phone. I hope we will be able to hit some hot spots to keep up with e-mail. Yesterday Phil put some kind of quick disconnect on the battery, so when we connect the solar panel cord to the charge controller, he won't have to take off the battery cover. He also made an extension cord that he hopes will work. That will enable us to put the solar panel further back on top of the camper if that area gets more sun than the front.
This campground has a really nice stream/creek that I would love to paddle around in our raft. Phil does not want to go to all the trouble of blowing it up and then getting it back into the box..... I hope to talk him into it, even if I have to get all the air out and fold it to fit back into the box!
